The tangled and tumultuous relationship between President Trump and media mogul Rupert Murdoch has taken a new, dramatic turn.
Trump is suing Murdoch, his company News Corporation and the Wall Street Journal’s parent company. The suit was filed on Friday, following through on earlier social media postings from the president.
Trump being Trump, he had put the earlier threats in colorful terms.
“I’m going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper,” Trump warned, regarding Murdoch, in a social media post on Thursday evening.
On Friday morning, he followed up with another post: “I look forward to getting Rupert Murdoch to testify in my lawsuit against him and his “pile of garbage” newspaper, the WSJ. That will be an interesting experience!!!”
